Osteoporosis and its sequelae have been associated with genetic predisposition, aging, nutritional factors, inactivity, substance abuse, and anorexia nervosa. We report three cases of pathologic osteoporotic hip fractures in elderly females with major depression. Biological consequences of depression and mobilization during hospital treatment are discussed as possible mediators of osteoporotic morbidity. (J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 1990;3:10-12).
